Botched sterilisation surgeries in 2015-16 claimed at least 113 lives, and death rate is on par with countries such as Bangladesh and Indonesia, the Centre has stated in an affi davit submitted in Supreme Court.

Indonesia and Bangladesh are much poorer than India in terms of per capita GDP and Purchasing Power Parity . The IMF has ranked India at seventh on PPP; Indonesia and Bangladesh are at 16th and 44th positions, respectively.
